Bu Nation - Solo Art Show at Cukui Clothing Company

This small body of recent works are a simple celebration of the many different faces of the world she sees through her eyes. Bu Nation always represents her love of the human spirit, multi cultures, identities and old and new traditions. She explores her love of connections that occur through assimilations and mostly her interest in the diversely shared emotional language of women and children in their lives. She likes making work that makes people feel happy. Bu Nation is Vietnamese American and was born and raised in San Jose, California. She is a student, a daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. Her mother's life stories along with Bu's husband, artist Samuel Rodriguez, and their Mexican-Vietnamese American daughter are continuous influences to her work.
